I am using HP laptop (15-r022TX) with RT3290 network card. There was no bluetooth already. On one fine morning Wifi also stopped working.
I installed and reinstalled with older and newer versions of Ubuntu. Each time I tried
- wifi network list not showing in ubuntu 16.04
- http://onthim.blogspot.in/2015/06/install-ralink-rt3290-wi-fi-driver-on.html
- How to install wifi driver Ralink RT3290
- How do I get a Ralink RT3290 wireless card working?
But nothing worked except that now I can enable and disable WIFI and bluetooth. The network names (SSID) are not listed.
I am now using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. Now I am stuck at this. Please help…
